EuroCollectNet Lawyers

What EuroCollectNet Lawyers does

EuroCollectNet (ECN) is a Luxembourg-registered non-profit association (ASBL) founded in 2008 by Dr. Thomas Voller that operates as a curated network of independent law firms specializing in cross-border debt collection and credit management. The central association is headquartered at 205 Route d'Arlon, Luxembourg, and is governed by a board comprising Dr. Thomas Voller (President), Cengiz Soylemezoglu (Board Member), and Aurelia Schmid (Treasurer). ECN itself is not a legal practice; it is a referral and quality-control umbrella under which member firms operate independently, bound by a shared code of conduct, and refer clients to a vetted local ECN lawyer who acts as a one-stop contact for the engagement.

The core product is the ECN-Lawyers debt-collection service, supported by a self-serve 'Find Your Lawyer' directory on eurocollectnet.com that lets prospective clients locate member firms by jurisdiction. The network spans 22+ European countries (including Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the UK, Ukraine, Turkey, and the Balkans) and 30+ countries globally via associate members in the USA, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, South Korea, Israel, Nigeria, Australia, and others. ECN also publishes educational resources such as 'Outlines of Debt Collection in Europe,' 'Credit Management Securities in Europe,' and 'Insolvency European Rules,' and participates in industry bodies such as FENCA and FECMA. There is no proprietary technology platform, no API, no AI/ML capability, and no patents; the product is fundamentally a coordinated professional-services network rather than a software or data business.

The business model is professional services: member law firms bill clients directly under flexible fee structures, including contingency fees 'where possible' and adaptable terms in other cases. ECN's central ASBL appears to be funded through membership dues rather than commercial service fees, consistent with its non-profit structure. Target customers are B2B enterprises with cross-border debt-collection needs, specifically banks, loan institutions, leasing companies, securitization funds, and energy and telecommunications companies. Marketing is conducted via LinkedIn, industry conferences (FENCA, FECMA, and ECN's own annual meetings), SEO/website directory presence, and educational content — with no paid acquisition or enterprise field-sales team disclosed.
